Carved in Wood!

[indiaink]

From the blog (see below): At Kurfürstendamm, Berlin, most of the stores have these little glass boxes in front of their shops. Which is a good opportunity to showcase there products but also a delicate situation for the high brand sellers. As these boxes pretty often get robbed... I guess that was part of the reason why Bottega Veneta decided to replace their original leather bags with wooden copies. Very good idea to solve the problem and maybe even more interesting then the ordinary bags!

These photos from http://dark-light-color.blogspot.com/; Bottega Veneta has linked to the site on their Facebook page, and I thought it worth having the photos here for posterity.
